Follow-up:
My "Use a Corny Keg as a No-Chill Container" idea worked out fine, inasmuch as it held pressure and smelled exactly like wort when I opened it up last night. Due to trub losses both in the no-chill (I used pellets at the end of the boil and chose to discard the green trub), and the fermenter, I'll probably on realize 4 gallons in the keg. So that's one small disadvantage, but one that's easily offset by the convienence of (a) having corny kegs available and not having to buy more gear, and (2) being able to transfer from keg to fermenter using gas and a picnic tap. Easy Peasy.
I brewed on Sunday and started my yeast, cold crashed the yeast on tuesday, and pitched last night. When I got home from work today, I was greeted by a lovely krausen in the fermenter. The next step will be to see how well the beer clears.
So, on to the next brew! My winpak's just waiting to be filled with something tasty, and I kicked not one, but two kegs this week. Time to refill that pipeline for the holidays!
